Hello @JohnDB, 'Bonfire night,' is, 'Guy Fawkes day' when fires are constructed and lit all over the country in the UK, and fireworks set off. To 'remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot', as the song says. Guy Fawkes, was part of a conspiracy to blow up the...

'Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and...

Hello @Hidden In Him, In response to questions 2 & 3, I would say that, 'believing on the Lord Jesus Christ,' is in itself evidence of the work of God, and of life from above. I do not believe that this passage teaches pre-destination in regard to salvation, No! God has foreknowledge...

'Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.' (Mat 7:20) Hello there, These words of the Lord Jesus Christ can be applied in regard to those who hold public office, it is by their fruits that we know their motivations and their objectives. Thankfully the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ...

Hello @Backlit, Thank you for taking the time to enter this, I enjoyed reading what you had to say. * Looking at the record of Paul's visit to Thessalonica in Acts 17, We are told that Paul had followed his usual custom, and went to the synagogue in Thessalonica, and reasoned with them out of...

'We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. (1...

'Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.' (Rom 7:17) Hello @marks, @CharismaticLady and yourself appear to be polarised in regard to the verse which is the subject of your OP (above). You are not alone, for commentators differ as to the true meaning of this passage...

Hi @marks, David had a great God, didn't He? Who spoke through him. Reading 22:6, 'But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. 'I am reminded of a little journey of discovery I had in relation to David's prophetical words concerning the Messiah, our Lord Jesus...

'And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross; And...

'I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us His flesh to eat...

'But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death...

Hello @marks I have not been following this thread, but I noticed your last response and looked back to see to what it applied, and found this. How wonderful it is that we have not been placed under law. How hard and diligently Paul fought for his Gentile converts, to keep them from those...

Hello there, Amadeus, Our times are in His Hands. May His perfect will be done both in and through you, for His Name and glory's sake. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

'Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is meat indeed, and My...

Hello again, @FluffyYellowDuck, I apply this same principle (reply#36) to telephone scams, for when someone telephones me, telling me that my computer has a fault and I aught to go online and fix it under their direction, or that my account has been compromised and that in order to fix it I...

Hello @FluffyYellowDuck You have made an interesting point here, and it reminds me of what is said about the effect that the giving of the law had. Paul said that he did not know 'lust' until the law said 'thou shalt not covert', and then sin took advantage of that commandment and wrought...

'And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon Me Whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourneth for His only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is...

'But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all His prophets, that Christ should suffer, He hath so fulfilled. Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And He shall send...

'Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things. Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength. Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in...
